2025 Cup of China Men's Free Skate

After the first quad I thought he would have a good day

 

[Ares]

A hot mess from Sota, he even omitted a jumping pass - almost looked like he forgot about the technical element, but the PCS should still be good

he's the cactus emperor of Japan for a reason...

I never liked Yamamoto’s skating. His programs are empty and when the jumps don’t work, there’s nothing left. The music choice is especially unfortunate as well. It made the program almost as hard to watch as Cha.

Gee this tense music in the KnC is a poor choice.

I mean I have to go to bed after this!

Also Sota I think you killed my predictions. Ah well, hope he does better at his next event.

Misha davai! I would take the normal underscoring at this point, after the hit job on him yesterday.

 

[elektra blue]

Misha davaaaaaaaaaaai

I didn't know we have Cacti Emperors!

These skaters are making me wish we could go back to the days of no vocals. Of all the music in the world one can skate to and THIS is what we get?!

 

[TallyT]

I like this costume. I just don't really know why...

 

[flanker]

Misha is delivering!

Yeah, I kind of miss the days of instrumental music only...

 

[cathlen]

Still no clean skate..... le sigh.

 

[4everchan]

Dimash should be banned from figure skating...

My ears are bleeding... not a good way to wake up.

For the record, I appreciate his vocal prowesses but not first thing in the morning.

Misha's packaging is dark. I don't know. The top is intense... the pants don't leave anything for imagination.

You really thought a Kazakhstan medal contender who choose any other singer?

 

[museksk8r]

Utterly horrific music, choreography and packaging. Abysmal!

 

[Sabsi]

Misha

 

[anonymoose_au]

Look at Misha throw down like a boss.

Oops jinxed him, he's still cool though, and his costume is great!

 

[flanker]

Ouch, he left a mistake for the very last jump...

 

[GGFan]

Props to Mikhail. I do not like his program at all but he has charm and makes skating look exciting and athletic so I still want to watch him. When the jumps don't work however the weaknesses of the program really shine through.
